Still, if I was going to blow a lot of cash on a phone, this would be the one...
According to this article in the New York Times, North Americans use their cell phones for talking first, and messaging (and other data related tomfoolery) second. Asians and Europeans do practically everything on their cellphones, including talk.
I can honestly say though I've played around with the idea of getting a new phone, I'm just like everyone else. I only use it to talk, so why bother getting something new? Until my current phone starts looking like hell, of course, which eventually it will.

some people buy their phones for low SAR ratings...not that manufacturers really want to tell you how much radiation you're soaking up using their product.
The phones they give away with plans are typically the highest emitters.
I bought a phone that can sync with Outlook so I could leave the Handspring behind. I only used it for phone numbers and the calendar anyway...
Some people=Lillerant. :)
I wouldn't mind getting a phone with Bluetooth, since my powerbook has it. It'd be nice to be able to load up e-books and newspaper stuff on a cell, but is it worth the $400 or more premium of a smart phone? Probably not.
you might be right. ;)
the siemens s55 (now discontinued) is the lowest emitter (at least when I shopped) you can get in Canada, and it has bluetooth. Should be cheap (relatively) now...
From what I can tell, Bluetooth is a lot more prevelant with the Rogers and Fido phones, which are also a little cheaper. Too bad Telus is the only thing that works worth a damn in the sticks. When I get a city job, then I'll get myself a new phone.
